If you’ve been after a Pokémon game that shakes up the traditional formula, this could be it – and it’s out very soon.Ĭonveniently arriving just head of the Uncharted movie adaptation hitting cinemas, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection sadly isn’t a new entry in Naughty Dog’s beloved action-adventure series, but it does offer the perfect excuse to play through two of its best games again. It’s up to you to head out into the wild to catch and research all the Pokémon you can, and in doing so completing the region’s first Pokédex. You’ll still be trying to catch ‘em all in turn-based battles, but rather than working your way through a series of gym leaders in a world where domesticated fighting Pokémon are very much the norm, Legends is set in a bygone era where they’re still pretty mysterious. The reality is that while Pokémon Legends: Arceus’ Hisui region probably isn’t going to rival Hyrule for open-world thrills, it does look like a great setting for the most exciting Pokémon adventure in years. But when the camera pans out across a vast, watercolour-like landscape in the debut trailer, piano keys twinkling in the background, well, it’s hard not to make the connection to the Nintendo Switch’s best ever game. The latest Pokémon game has been perhaps lazily dubbed the series’ answer to Breath of the Wild.
